I think they are beyond pointless. Why would I want to watch someone else play a game, and listen to them talk (depends on the recorder I guess) while they're playing? If people are interested enough to sit there and watch a person play a game then I don't understand why they wouldn't just play it themselves.
The only time I'll watch another person play vidya is if they make a game out of the game. For example, there's this one guy whose streams I watch now and then, and no matter what game he plays he makes it balls to the wall difficult for himself. Last time I watched him play, he was playing through Twlight Princess wearing iron boots and using the wooden sword the entire time. And yes, he did beat Zant and Ganon under these ridiculous limitations. The guy literally spent 6 hours on one of the puzzles until the viewers told him to take the boots off so he could proceed. Guy's a champ.
So yeah, unless you are hardcore like that guy then I would have a difficult time watching you play video games.
